Emperor Qianshan's tone was a little arrogant, no matter how he said it, he was the king of a country, and he couldn't lose face no matter what. Even if you Jiang Xingchen are famous all over the world, you are just a lord of the Qiankun Empire, and I can afford to talk to you in person.

"Hehe!" Jiang Xingchen looked at Emperor Qianshan very calmly with an indifferent expression, and asked slowly: "I just want to ask, does the emperor want to become an intermediate member of the Xingchen Collar soon?"

As soon as they heard this, the expression of the Emperor of Thousand Mountains changed, and they desperately wanted to get a superuser spot, and most of them went to the ballista and steam engine. When Jiang Xingchen opened the second batch of super users, he came up with a hierarchy, and if he wanted to buy a ballista, he had to wait for at least three years. Hearing the news made him angry enough that he scolded for a long time.

"You Jiang Xingchen can just say how much money you want, as for the time limit, it's too damaging to you!" It was not only Emperor Qianshan who scolded Jiang Xingchen, but other forces were also scolding, and they had a lot of grievances against this three-year time limit.

However, no matter how much you scold, no matter how unhappy you are, you have to be a super user, after all, there is hope for it. If you don't do anything, you can't make money, other forces have it, but you don't have it, and once there is any conflict, you will definitely suffer a loss!

Now, Jiang Xingchen suddenly told him that he could break the time limit and obtain the permission of the intermediate user ±≦ in advance, of course he couldn't calm down, the arrogance and majesty he had maintained in front of Jiang Xingchen collapsed instantly, and he asked hurriedly: "How to handle it?"

Jiang Xingchen still had a faint expression and said: "If you want to be promoted to the rank, in addition to waiting for three years, there is another way, which is to contribute to the development of Xingchen Ling." ”

Emperor Qianshan narrowed his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Duke Jiang, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly." There's no need to go around in circles like this!" He was not a fool, and he understood Jiang Xingchen's intentions as soon as he heard it. How can anyone give himself an intermediate member for nothing, but he doesn't know what the Thousand Mountains Kingdom needs to give.

"Okay! The emperor is quick to speak, so I will speak bluntly...... In the future, my team will frequently travel between the Empire and the Ice Field, and I hope to sign a security pact with the Thousand Mountains Kingdom!"

"Security protocol, what do you mean?" Emperor Qianshan didn't quite understand. But when it came to the ice field, he was a little moved, what made Jiang Xingchen willing to take out papermaking and cement manufacturing technology!

He had also sent people to inquire and investigate before, but in the end, they were all beaten back by Tang Tian's old immortal. This aroused his curiosity even more, and he decided that the things in the ice field must be very important to Jiang Xingchen. Once you find out, look for opportunities to do it later. For this reason, he had already contacted Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect, and they had also given a clear answer, and they were also very interested in the ice field.

Of course, you can't involve yourself when you start, just disguise yourself as a bandit, so that there is no place for the Qiankun Empire to spread fire. It is also impossible to raise teachers to hold them accountable, and sending troops without evidence or evidence will inevitably cause panic in other countries. And realignment.

"The security agreement is from the Ice Plain to the Qiankun Empire, and the Thousand Mountains Kingdom needs to ensure the safety of the team's personnel and materials, otherwise I have the right to hold your country responsible!" Jiang Xingchen explained with a smile.

"What?" the Thousand Mountains Emperor's eyes widened. A look of anger. If this agreement is signed, won't the Kingdom of Thousand Mountains become your bodyguard? Any accident will be counted on my head, if the paralyzed Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect moves you!

One thought and one thought. The Emperor of the Thousand Mountains was about to refuse. Originally, he was a little hesitant, vacillating between obtaining the intermediate user qualification in advance and the things of the ice field. At this moment, I heard Jiang Xingchen's conditions. Of course I won't agree, it's a big deal that I'll wait three years!

But. Before he could speak, Jiang Xingchen said again: "If your country signs this agreement, I will not only provide the emperor with intermediate user qualifications, but also sell you an additional ballista and a steam engine!"

"Ahem, cough, cough!" Emperor Qianshan's words came to his mouth, and he swallowed it back again, choking so much that he coughed, his face was red, and the subordinates next to him were so frightened that they hurried over to give him relief.

It took a long time for the Emperor of Qianshan to catch his breath. But he didn't speak, and hesitated again.

Two ballistas, two steam engines, the price is much higher. On the surface, it's just a doubling of what you've purchased, but in reality, you won't be able to buy a second ballista and a second steam engine even if you upgrade to intermediate three years later.

After a while, the Emperor of Thousand Mountains spoke: "Duke Jiang, are your conditions too much? You want to say that I can guarantee it in the territory of the Thousand Mountains Kingdom, but we are not the only forces bordering the ice field, how can we guarantee your safety?"

"Hehe! The emperor is so modest, as long as you want to, our safety will not be a problem! I don't believe that anyone dares to stretch out their hands when they see your protection, then they are not bandits!"

Jiang Xingchen's words are also very clear, as long as you send an army, who will dare to do it, doesn't that make it clear that it is other forces.

"This ......" Emperor Qianshan was a little speechless for a while, unable to answer.

Jiang Xingchen continued: "All I ask for is the journey, you don't need to be responsible for the safety of the ice field base, this is always okay, right?"

The Qianshan Emperor fell silent again, he really couldn't bear two ballistas and two steam engines. But the resources of the ice field also attracted him. Once this security agreement was signed, he couldn't move even if he wanted to, and he had to desperately protect it to avoid Xuanyuan Tianzong's move.

Now he thinks about which one is more accounting. Protecting Jiang Xingchen's transport team requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and it is also equivalent to losing the mysterious things of the ice field......

Jiang Xingchen waited quietly for a while, and when he saw that the Emperor of Qianshan did not reply, he couldn't help but shake his head, got up and sighed: "It seems that we can't get along! The road of your Qianshan Kingdom is close, but it is not the only one, it is a big deal for me to take a detour, and the Dongxuan Kingdom is not much farther than yours." They should be happy to sign a security agreement with me!"

"Wait!" Emperor Qianshan suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped Jiang Xingchen.

Jiang Xingchen's last sentence reminded him that if people take a detour, they can also sign security agreements with other countries. If other countries send troops to protect them, they will also not be able to succeed, and in the face of the regular army, he will have to mobilize many people, and he will not be able to hide from them at all.

In this case, it is better to obtain the permission of the intermediate user yourself. In addition, didn't Jiang Xingchen say that his base over there does not need our protection, and it is not that there is no other opportunity.

"Duke Jiang, it's not that I don't agree, but we have to make it clear that there must be a time limit for your security agreement, and we can't be asked to guarantee your safety forever!" Emperor Qianshan said.

"Of course not!" Jiang Xingchen chuckled, and then said, "Three years, this security agreement is only valid for three years!"

"That's good!" As soon as he heard that it was only three years, Emperor Qianshan immediately smiled, and immediately signed with Jiang Xingchen.

"The Thousand Mountains Kingdom is responsible for the safety of the Xingchen Territory's transportation team between the Qiankun Empire and the Ice Plains base, and there is a loss of people and property in the process...... As a contribution to the Star Lord, the Star Leader will grant the Thousand Mountains Kingdom Intermediate User Privileges, and sell a ballista and a steam engine ......"

The agreement is written in great detail, such as under what circumstances Qianshan is not responsible for the loss, as if the personnel themselves are sick, or the operation is wrong, etc. In addition, how should the two parties coordinate in case of special circumstances!

After a busy afternoon, Jiang Xingchen and Emperor Qianshan signed their names on the agreement they had drawn up and stamped their seals.

Immediately, the two of them laughed and said happily, no one could see that they were actually enemies of life and death, and Emperor Qianshan couldn't wait to slice Jiang Xingchen in his heart.

After the matter was done, Jiang Xingchen didn't stay in the palace for long before getting up and saying goodbye. It's too tiring to laugh with an opponent.

As soon as Jiang Xingchen left on his front foot, Emperor Qianshan's face also sank, although he had obtained two ballistas and a steam engine, he would never be able to touch the things of the ice field in the future, and he was not comfortable in his heart. Three years is not a long time, but Jiang Xingchen said that there must be a reason for this time, and it is not possible to transport everything away in three years!

"Your Majesty!" At some point, the prime minister appeared behind him and whispered.

"Prime Minister, do you think we lost money again by signing this security agreement?" Emperor Qianshan did not look back, and said in a deep voice.

"How can we lose!" The prime minister laughed: "If we get the ballista three years earlier, we will have three more years of research! And with these two ballistas, there is also a certain deterrent to the surroundings, at least Xuanyuan Tianzong doesn't dare to think anything about us...... Those two steam engines are more useful, and when they are used in papermaking, they can definitely increase the output significantly!"

"But where the ice field ......," the Thousand Mountains Emperor was still unwilling.

"Hehe, this is not a problem, Jiang Xingchen said it himself, we are only responsible for transportation, and we can't control the safety of the base...... Isn't this just an opportunity! Now that Jiang Xingchen and Tang Tian are not here, it has nothing to do with us if something happens to their base!"

Emperor Qianshan shook his head and said slowly: "You think too simply, since Jiang Xingchen dares to establish a base there, he must have something to rely on, he may not have arranged how many ballistae and folding repeaters!"

"Your Majesty, isn't it better! We don't need a large number of troops to attack, we just need to sneak in at night. In this way, the opposing party's ballistas and repeaters lose their threat. If we succeed, we'll have a lot of new weapons!"

Emperor Qianshan's eyes lit up, and he was shocked by what the prime minister said. Yes, Jiang Xingchen's base does not have any masters, how tightly guarded it can be. Moreover, the ice field is windy and snowy at night, which can completely obscure the view, and once inside, the other party is a group of lambs to be slaughtered. Thinking about those weapons again, Emperor Qianshan's heartbeat became more and more intense.

At this time, the prime minister said again: "Your Majesty, in order to be more sure, I think I should secretly join forces with Xuanyuan Tianzong...... Jiang Xingchen has a lot of ideas, let's take precautions!"

Although the Qianshan Emperor was reluctant to give the ballista and the folding repeater to others, he thought about it carefully for a while, and still nodded: "Then I will leave the matter of contacting Xuanyuan Tianzong to you!" (To be continued......)
